Run Lola Run meets the Matrixs in “Cloud Atlas”…
Tom Tykwer and The Wachowski Brothers have signed on to pen a film adaptation of David Mitchell’s book Cloud Atlas.
Tykwer,
the director behind Run, Lola, Run and upcoming thriller The
International, confirmed his involvement with the project explaining:
“I’m trying to adapt a novel called Cloud Atlas, which is a novel by
David Mitchell that I’m really completely excited about. And I’m
sitting down with the Wachowski Brothers and trying to adapt that for a
screenplay. It’s very interesting.”
Cloud
Atlas is made up of six loosely connected narratives which mix history,
science, suspense, humour and pathos. Tykwer said that the movie will
move “from Melvillean high-seas drama to California noir and dystopian
fantasy”.
